Quaternary ammonium salts possess the following excellent characteristics:

The sterilization and disinfection effect is remarkable.

Quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants have a broad-spectrum killing effect on microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses, especially showing highly efficient killing ability against common pathogenic bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. Its mechanism of action is to achieve sterilization by destroying the structure of microbial cell membranes, and it has good compatibility with metal and plastic material surfaces.

High chemical stability

This type of disinfectant remains stable in acidic, alkaline and high-temperature environments and is not prone to decomposition and failure. For example, Gemini quaternary ammonium salt can exert persistent sterilization effects under various water quality conditions, and its weather resistance is better than traditional disinfectants.

Higher safety

Most quaternary ammonium salt products cause less irritation to the skin and respiratory tract, and are suitable for scenarios with high safety requirements such as food processing and medical applications. However, caution should still be exercised when exposed for a long time or using at high concentrations. Has a wide range of applications

In addition to sterilization and disinfection, quaternary ammonium salts are also used in the textile printing and dyeing industry for anti-static treatment, as well as in water treatment for flocculants and other applications. Their amphiphilic nature (hydrophilic head group and hydrophobic chain) endows them with surfactant functions, enabling them to reduce the surface tension of liquids.
